way to bypass default browser?

Has anyone who's upgraded to Mac OS Panther had any difficulty with Sorenson3 no longer showing up as a compression option in Quicktime Pro or Cleaner? I just downloaded the patch from www.sorenson.com to Sorenson 3.3, but that doesn't seem to help.

Cutting down on size of .rev file

OT: Mac OS X have a registry?
Can anyone tell me if Mac OS X has a registry, like Windows? I basically need a place to store an encrypted password, and I need someplace to store it where people would be unlikely to find it. Putting it in the preferences folder would be too obvious. My PC-buddies were telling me that the registry might be a good option, but I don't recall reading anywhere that Mac OS X has such a thing. This password just needs to be stored, and then the user reboots their Mac, and then in the startup folder will exist a .rev app that reads the password and acts upon it, and then deletes it, so it doesn't need to hang around after that point. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Launch command on Mac OS X
I'm trying to create a Revolution app that will permit the user to download any number of files from an FTP server to their hard-drive, and then permit them to launch that document with it's proper owner. I've got the FTP/downloading process working, and the filetypes set properly, however if I then do a "launch filename.doc", for some reason Rev starts the OS 8/9 startup classic mode process. I know that the launch command provides me the option to define the exact path to the application, but the user can move their apps around. Would it be possible to use an Applescript method instead for this type of thing? ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Panther and Rev
I've got a client who's interested in having me create something that will work in Apple's upcoming "Panther" OS. Has anyone done any experiments running Revolution in Panther?

ftping and filetype property
I've got a Mac OS X Rev app that allows the user to upload files to an FTP server, and download files locally from the same server. (It does many other things, but this component is the part I have a question about). I've noticed that if I upload jpg, gif, pdf, ppt, doc, xls files, and then pull them back down again using the put URL "ftp://" command, all the files lose their filetypes. Is this because the Mac resource-fork gets lost during the transfer? I know that I can get around this problem by having Rev look at the extension of the file and set the filetype back again as it's transferring to the user's hard-drive. If this is the only way around this problem, has anyone created a master list of file-types in a Rev script and parsed what their 8-character creator/type strings are? Eg. if extension = "jpg" then set the filetype to "prvwjpeg" if extension = "ppt" then set the filetype to . if extension = "doc" then set the filetype to . if extension = "mov" then set the filetype to . - Rob ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Windows XP icons in Builder
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to give a Rev app a Windows XP icon (48x48) with the alpha-blending, so that it blends in with the desktop?

Strange script tags retrieved with PUT URL calls on PC
I'm getting some strange script tags (below) being retrieved from
Revolution's PUT URL command (but only on PC). If I run this same
Revolution stack on a Mac, I do not get these lines of code within my
app. I've tried this on Rev 2.03 and Rev 2.1.
The data is consistantly being retrieved, whether I'm running as a
standalone stack, or within authoring mode, but ONLY on Windows. Even
if I do a
put URL http://www.apple.com;, I get this code, or google.com, or
anywhere I'd go. Any idea why I'm seeing this? Do I need to deactivate
some http header-display flag when authoring for windows?
What I'm seeing, below:
script PrxRealOpen=window.open; function PrxNullWin(){this.window;}
function PrxOpen(url,nam,atr){return(new PrxNullWin());}
window.open=PrxOpen;/script
script function NoError(){return(true);} onerror=NoError; /script
script function NoBox(txt){ return(1);} window.alert=NoBox;
window.confirm=NoBox; window.prompt=NoBox;function
submit(){return(NULL);}/script
script function moveTo(){return true;}function resizeTo(){return
true;}/script

faking https?
Just want to verify that there's no way to fake an HTTPS POST with the present version of Rev on Mac OS X. I'm really in need of https for a project I'd like to work on for a client. (Basically I'm posting a username/password, and the server sends me back an encrypted string.) I was trying to think of other ways to do this, and the only thing I could come up with is to have Rev control IE via Applescript and have it retrieve the html source upon receiving communcation from the server. (While hiding IE from the user) I don't suppose anyone's written an HTTPS plug-in for Rev? ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Can Rev mimic http forms submit?
Can anyone tell me if the Revolution "post" command does the same thing as what a web-browser does when it has a "form.submit()" action? For instance, let's say I have a form on a web-page that contains a form with some input fields (I've eliminated the tag characters in hopes that email readers won't parse this code): -- form id="theForm" method="post" action="" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://206.46.136.179/portal/vasp">"http://206.46.136.179/portal/vasp" input type="hidden" name="SERVICE" value="Login" input type="text" name="UserName" value="usernamehere" ID="Text1" taborder="1" input type="password" name="Password" value="abc123" ID="Password1" input type="button" id="Login" value="Login" form - So when the user hits the button id "Login", the theForm.submit() _javascript_ action occurs, and the username/password fields are passed to the server. The question I have is, what is the Revolution call to do this type of thing? Is it some form of the POST command? If so, how would I format the post command to pass data like this? ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Getting cross-platform IP address
I must be missing something obvious, but is there a command that provides the user's IP address (whether Mac or PC). According to the documentation on the "hostAddress" function: "Use the hostAddress function to find the IP address of the computer that Revolution is running on." I thought that might do the trick, but I get the impression that this call must be for determining a host-connection, rather than the local connection. I've look all over the docs for an IP Address command - - - - can someone please point me in the right direction? ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Way to insert text where cursor is in field?
I'm sure I must be overlooking something simple - - - - What I'm trying to do is have a text field that detects when the user presses the character "*", and when they do, it replaces that "*" with a bitmap graphic. (Using the imageSource call). I've got the below code which _almost_ does this, except that it replaces all the astericks except the one that the user just pressed. The trick here is that the user can click and put the cursor anywhere in the text field, so it's not like I can just add an "*" to the last char of the field and swap it out. I somehow need to find out the position in the text field where the cursor is, and add the asterick, and THEN run the "refreshnotes" handler. on keydown theKey if theKey = "*" then refreshnotes end if pass keydown end keydown on refreshnotes put the number of lines in field "notes" into temp repeat with x = 1 to temp if line x of field "notes" contains "*" then put the length of line x of field "notes" into linelength repeat with y = 1 to linelength if char y of line x of field notes = "*" then set the imageSource of char y of line x of field "notes" to "checkbox" end if end repeat end if end repeat end refreshnotes ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

delete line x in Rev 2.1B2 vs. 2.1RC1
I've noticed a difference in the way that the "delete line x from field" feature works between Revolution 2.1B2 and Revolution 2.1RC1. In 2.1B2, it deletes the line of text, and moves the line beneath up a line, but in 2.1RC1, it deletes the text, but leaves line beneath in it's original position. I'm _guessing_ that the correct behavior is that the line should empty out and the line beneath should move up a slot. Or, should I be using a different call now to get this functionality?

Way to adjust column width in fields?
I've got a text field with tab-delimited columns in it. This works great for my needs (I'm trying to replicate the iCal calendar views that iCal displays on the left of the window.)

If I click on the field object, do a edit CONTENTS, I see the big excel spreadsheet-esque view of the grid and it's values.

I'm trying to get my Revolution application to FTP files up to our Mac OS X server. This works most of the time, but if the server isn't used for awhile, it gets into this mode where you have to kind of "wake it up" - - - apps on the server sit for awhile before launching, the server doesn't serve for awhile, etc. This doesn't seem like normal behavior to me, and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this before with an OS X server and might know what setting needs to be adjusted.
